Abstract: That involves much mare than the mere determination of the volume of gas that passes a certain point. Indeed, measurement of gas has become an important project, involving some of the most exotic and advanced techniques and equipment used by the American industry. Where is the inslrumenlation need for gas measurement in the gas industry? We know that the numbers of measuring components in use throughout the country reaches into the hundreds of thousands. An indication is given by the results we published in our April issue of this year. A look at this survey can be enlightening. Referring to Figure I, we get an idea of the numbers of various type instruments being used in the transmission industry. Lets stop a moment to review what we mean by the various types of stations shown. Sales stations are master delivery points where custody transfer is granted from the trimsmission company to a customer utility or industrial company. Field stations are much smaller in size and cost, and are used at the mouth of producing wells or at the tailgates of processing plants for metering the gas into the transmission pipe lines. Check stations are located on the pipe line and are used primarily for control purposes.
